Stripe is a payment processing and financial infrastructure platform that lets businesses accept payments, manage subscriptions and build custom revenue models. It serves companies of every size, from startups to large enterprises, across ecommerce, software, marketplaces and platforms that need to move money online or in person.
The platform handles card and wallet payments alongside methods such as bank debits, stablecoins and buy-now-pay-later, across more than a hundred currencies, and supports billing for recurring subscriptions and usage-based pricing. Businesses can integrate through a no-code dashboard, pre-built platform connections, or custom API and SDK access, with additional tools for fraud prevention, tax compliance and card issuing built into the same account.
Stripe charges per transaction rather than a monthly subscription for its core payments product, with a standard rate of 2.9% plus 30 cents for a successful domestic card charge, plus added percentages for international cards, currency conversion or manually entered cards; in-person and alternative payment methods are priced differently. Optional products such as Billing, Tax and Sigma carry their own monthly starting prices, and large-volume businesses can negotiate custom rates.
